Find the source, chicken. Quit your bellyachin’ about how little you know and your cognitive limitations and let’s see some solid scholarly work (complete with historiography – that’s a big word for A-1 Trucking School) that indeed counters said alleged “PC foolishness” and “revisionist” works.

I reject shoddy history, mediocre sources, and uneducated analysis with piss poor conclusions. The fact that you represent them all isn’t my concern. You couldn't even handle L X D here, so I guess, I am, in fact the arbiter (or is that Dayseed and SprCForr?) Quit the excuses – either deliver the goods or back to your corner.

And you’re a slack-jawed peon. But, at least you’re entertaining and that serves a small purpose, so good for you, little buddy.

kelvlarman you seem to be well versed with the problem regarding Native Issues, what are your thoughts on solving this crisis? Or at the very least providing them with clean water and decent housing?

As far as I know the money to fix the problem is in the pipe and at the avail of the Native tribal administrations via the Aboriginal arm of the Federal governement. But from what I've read and heard from folks that were knee-deep in the situation and as a few folks on this thread can confirm much better than myself, the money is being grabbed by consultants, lawyers, specialists, lobbyists, crooked politicians and crooked tribal leaders. Therefore the most of the money doesn't get to help the ACTUAL average Joe on the reserve as much as it should.

That's just my TAKE on it, is it my FACT on it. No, but I know my dad who sat in on the group negotiating the sharing of forestry and mineral resources with the Saskachewan tribes for the government wondered why there weren't more natives at the discussions. He saw forestry company officials, oil company reps, farmer's groups representatives, tourism officials, outfitter and bush camp operators, lawyers, tourism industry reps and other government officials versus a few native representatives. He saw that it got slightly better as it went on but wondered why the people of the reserves weren't better representatives.

I need to know more before I give an educated answer. Sorry.
